5. A gene has a base sequence of GTC. Due to a mutation, the base sequence changes to GTG. Answer the following questions using

the codon table below.
b) What are the bases of mRNA coded for by this section of DNA, after the mutation? Hint: In RNA, A pairs with U.

c) What amino acid is coded for by this sequence before the mutation? Hint: Use the codon table.

d) What amino acid is coded for by this sequence after the mutation?
e) Is this is a silent mutation or a missense mutation? Explain. Hint: Silent mutations have no effect on the amino acid.

f) What is the difference between a missense mutation and a silent mutation?
g) If the strand of DNA with the sequence GTA mutated to GTG, would this be a silent or missense mutation? Hint: Find the RNA for both sequences and check to see that they code for different amino acids.

h) If the strand of DNA with the sequence TTA mutated to TTG, would this be a silent or missense mutation? Hint: Find the RNA for both sequences and check to see that they code for different amino acids.

Identify the respiration system of amoeba​
Arturiano [62]

Explanation:

In amoeba respiration takes place through its cell membrane also called the plasma membrane. Amoeba gets oxygen gas dissolved in surrounding water through its plasma membrane by the process of diffusion. The oxygen gas diffused inside the body is used up by the amoeba. In the body, the oxygen gas absorbed is used to break down the complex food material into simple molecules. During these metabolic reactions in the body of amoeba, the oxygen gas is converted into carbon dioxide gas. The carbon dioxide gas is also liberated in the surrounding water through the same process of diffusion.

Since amoeba needs oxygen for respiration, the type of respiration is aerobic respiration.

The atmosphere is 80% nitrogen: why do you think plants and animals can't use nitrogen as it is found in the atmosphere?
Setler [38]

Answer: Atmospheric Nitrogen is unreactive

Explanation:

The atmosphere is made up of about 80% Nitrogen, 16% oxygen, about 4% carbon dioxide, rare gases etc.

However, the 80% Nitrogen is highly unreactive, and needs to be trapped by competent micro organisms known as nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the root nodules of legumes.

Then, it is converted to several forms like nitrites, nitrates (easily absorbed by plants), ammonia and finally escape to the atmosphere again.

This brief illustration explains the NITROGEN CYCLE, and it is the only means by which plants and animals can use the highly unreactive nitrogen
